Love it!!!  Note the large opening on the top!  This is extremely functional on windy conditions. This umbrella spans over 9 feet. I don’t have a heavy umbrella stand under the table… only 32 pounds so I was concerned a gust of wind will take the umbrella. Other umbrellas don’t have as big of an opening on the top. 

Also and equally important is the diameter of the pole.  It is 1.9 inches compared to most at 1.5. That translate to stiffer pole. 

So far so good!  No problems having to run out and close it on windy conditions.
